Tackle recruit changes mind

October 17, 2011

For the third time in six months, the Penn State football team has lost a highly ranked line recruit that had announced intentions to play for the Nittany Lions.

Pennsbury offensive tackle J.J. Denman switched his commitment to Wisconsin after taking a visit to Madison for the Badgers' game against Indiana on Saturday, according to several internet reports. He originally made a non-binding verbal pledge to Penn State over Wisconsin and Notre Dame on May 18 and had been in University Park as recently as two weeks ago for the Iowa game.
